One of the daunting tasks that faces any home schooling family is the search for home school curriculum to use. There are so many options out there, but one thing I have noticed is that the majority is Christian based and can be very costly.
Some years down the track of homeschooling, you find yourself throwing out a whole lot of unused curriculum and looking for a way to simplify homeschool curriculum.
Conventions can be overwhelming! Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your convention experience.
There are many things to consider when choosing a curriculum, among them cost, availability, how long your family will use them, and others.

I’ve always wondered how mariners have used stars to navigate. Is it as simple as locating star alignments known to point in a certain general direction (e.g. north)?
Any first time homeschooler can recount the details of their first homeschool convention. Some may have wonderful experiences, but the many that I have come into contact with, come away feeling hopelessly overwhelmed and confused by the availability of choices.

Twilight is that brief part of each day in between day and night, when the Sun’s rays light up the sky, but the Sun itself is below the horizon.
Mel Gibson’s stunning motion picture, “The Passion of The Christ,” opens with a dramatic closeup view of the Full Moon. From there, we see Jesus and His disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane, and the subsequent events from the Gospels are shown set against the pale brightness of the Moon’s light.
There is something you can do about it and that’s what makes homeschooling successful. When your child tells you that he doesn’t like school, you know the program doesn’t fit. Just like when a shoe pinches, it’s time to get a new one.
